Personal Statements and Oxbridge Admissions (interview prep)

I'm an Oxford graduate who has been helping university applicants with personal statements over the past few years, a number of whom have secured places at Oxbridge.

Before applying to university myself I spent a lot of time with a number of different people who helped guide me with my personal statement and the rest of the admissions process. I now aim to pass on to others the insight I gained from these experiences.

In a personal statement session, I will set out the structure of a great personal statement and work with the student to identify the content which will allow their application to stand out amongst those of other applicants.

For those applying to Oxbridge, I am happy to help with course choices, college choices, expectations of the Oxbridge lifestyle, and understanding the difference between Oxford and Cambridge. I have also run a number of mock interviews for applicants based on the experiences of myself and other Oxbridge graduates to ensure that students feel more comfortable and prepared for the real thing.

Adapted to each case and need, the objective is support in accessing a job, from the search for departure to the signing of the contract: - After the search and selection of relevant advertisements, establish and illustrate your transversal skills profile then create an attractive CV and write a striking cover letter highlighting your professional background - stand out in the preparation of their interviews, from oral presentation to expression through appropriate body language. Interview simulation & video analysis filmed if necessary. - Identify your values, promote your professional project / your assets and strengths but also work on areas for improvement in order to find new momentum in your career. Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish. Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 sessions. (study 2020) PLACES : - Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: chat notes that can be read later).

⭐️ ⭐️ What my Class is like ⭐️ ⭐️ • First class I will have a conversation about what YOU need to learn better. Every class is designed differently for different students. • I take notes about our conversation: I make notes about your: +Pronunciation +Grammar 📝 +Fluency/ Speaking speed 🗣️ +Listening 👂 ++ Confidence using English 😎 •I have a variety of books and materials FREE of charge available to my students. Most of my classes run longer than 1 hour or 1.5 hours and I’m fine with teaching longer! If you need to start from the beginning, improve your English for conversation, pass a visa interview for an English speaking country, become IELTS or TOEIC, or learn English for business or pleasure- I have over a decade of experience. 🌟” Why choose Mr. Rhett?” I always loved learning languages! I’ve studied German, Latin, Spanish, and Vietnamese- I understand how HARD IT IS TO LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE! Yes, it’s hard! But I’ve been using a dynamic method to make learning FUN 🤩. •I’ve been teaching English since volunteering in high school teaching immigrants English as a second language. • Every student has a different way of learning and different needs and I’ve mastered how to identify a student’s needs. • I use don’t just use a book and say “repeat!”like in school that makes even the best student get bored 🥱. • Depending on how a student learns: I use videos and audio of real world English speaking situations. • I’ve taught in Vietnam 🇻🇳 for 8 years in English centers, international schools, visa interview preparation, and TOEIC/IELTS prep classes. This has showed me the importance of learning how each student learn is different. And this experience has made me a very dynamic tutor with very satisfied students! 🧑🏻‍🎓 👨🏻‍🎓 👩🏻‍🎓 I realized the best way to teach is so my students feel relaxed and comfortable so it doesn’t feel like a class. As an American, I have a very clear accent. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in International Relations with a minor in teaching from Pennsylvania State University as well as a TESOL (international teaching certificate) from Oxford. I have Vietnamese residency. I spend a lot of time using different materials (mock tests, pronunciation correction plans, as well as quizzes to track progress). I want my students do well but have fun while doing so! 😃 If a student ever wants to do something differently than it’s changed immediately. Learning is a journey and I will be your guide to reach your destination.
